After winning the 48-hour challenge earlier in the competition, Ronnie and Georgia were allowed to take $8,700 from Josh and Elyse's budget - and they used the judgement hour to come knocking for their cash.

The woes didn't stop there: Josh and Elyse had also used power drills after hours after failing to install their chimney in time and they were fined $1000 for breaking the rules.

And while they were also gifted a holiday with Ronnie and Georgia, the animosity between the two teams had become too much for Josh and Elyse to handle and they refused to show up to take advantage of their reward.

Styled to perfection! The judges thought Ronnie and Georgia's room was sophisticated

Despite their chimney debacle, Josh and Elyse had impressed with a living and dining area that the judges found 'contemporary with soul' and scored a total of 29 and a half out of 30.

Equalling their score were Ronnie and Georgia, who finished their area ahead of schedule again, and wowed the judges with their sophisticated and spacious room.

Garnering a score of 26 and a half were Jason and Sarah, who made drastic budget cuts in order to afford a fireplace as their star attraction.

Bold move: The judges didn't like Hannah and Clint's dividing wall as they thought it made the space look too small for its purpose

Meanwhile, last week's challenge winners Hannah and Clint made a bold move that didn't pay off.

Their dividing wall made their area feel smaller than was feasible for families likely to buy the property and they scored 23 and a half for their troubles.

Rounding out the teams, Sticks and Wombat went heavy on timber in their room but their attempts to soften the styling with Scandinavian features didn't go down well, with the judges describing their choices as 'overly complicated Tetris pieces that don't really fit'.

The boys managed a score of just 20, placing them at the tail end of the competition.
